Coloring Book, page 12

Our friend Martin Bromirski, blogger of anaba fame, met us at the inliquid "art for the cash poor" last summer. We had a table set up to sell some paintings and so did he. We had been in email contact and knew he would be at the event so were on the lookout. When he came round to our table and saw our paintings -- several of which had been on artblog as part of the "so true" series, he got all excited. He went to a cash machine, got out some money (very little -- we weren't asking much for the paintings --it was one of our attempts to get rid of stuff) and bought a painting. Later on, we went by his table and he got us to pose holding one of his paintings and gesturing with two thumbs up. This was part of his ongoing "thumbs up project." Martin, who saw an early draft of the coloring book at my flickr site asked if I'd include a photo of his in the series. He suggested the Libby and Roberta thumbs up photo and I thought that was a perfect choice. See Martin's flickr page for the original.
